Workshops & Talks

Having educated myself in photography mixing professional studies in studio photography and visual expression and self-studying nature photography, I believe I have now something to pass on to others too. I too have attended many lectures, workshops and online courses. I have also taken as much inspiration as possible from top photographers whose work I admire.

My personality is the kind that I want to share what I have learned, and I am happy to give workshops and lectures. Feel free to ask if you want to book a presentation by me.

Coming up 2023

Presentation in Liminganlahti Bird Festival 22th April 2023 – Kuvaa valoa! Valon luonne lintukuvauksessa

Presentation combining the two areas of my greatest interest: nature photography and light.

Using light to create different atmospheres in nature photography.

How to see natural light and how to use it to bring out the subject in creative way.

Floating hide Workshops – From April onwards -by request

Teaching how to photograph waders and water birds from floating hides. This means that you get to photograph birds from the same level as they are, as you are in the water wearing dry suit. Your camera is safely attached to a floating hide, and the floating hide has camo- cover to hide you. This way it is easy to get very close to birds without disturbing them. The best of all is the photography level right on the water surface, so you will be able to get nice reflections from the water. 

Workshop includes the use of floating hide and dry suit. Photographing about 3 hours, total workshop time about 4 hours.

Price from 190 €.
